MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[old_lion]

Teresa Heinz was just food for thought to give a little levity to your remarks...  I will give you my more serious remarks in a PM later!

Gotcha ... I apologize. Apparently, my "levity radar" was not working properly.

My only excuse is that this is a topic I do take seriously.

What I find particularly galling are the numerous examples of illogical and inconsistent interpretations of what is considered unacceptable behavior for one group, while similar behavior is considered acceptable for another group.

I would like to hear your more serious thoughts.

How did lawrence really get invited?
Who did he know?
Like i knew a kid who played at Penn State, can't spell his name, Kline-Heard or something, who got invited b/c his father was an assistant with the Hawks

Robby's family knows someone in the organization and he and Antoine have been working out with one of their scouts/trainers for the last three months.  It is not a done deal yet.  He has to participate in a physical and two days of two-a-days before leaving on Thursday but I don't think they are going to take all the people on the list.  Robby understands that he is not a typical NBA player but will hopefully get other opportunities from this experience.  He and Antione are slated to be in the NBDL free agent camp that happens in Dallas later this month.  Antoine was supposed to be joining Robby but the Hawks added Pettway from Michigan who is from Griffin, GA.  Getting an opportunity to play post college and get paid is a difficult thing to do.  There are a lot of politics and favors being called in that effect the outcomes.  I don't however see it outside the realm of possibility that both of them could be playing in Europe next year.  They are athletic and they can defend and score but most importantly they won't be closing down the bars in whatever city they happed to play in and will absolutely out work anybody out there.  I wish they had more eligibility!!!!!

Ralph, it makes me feel real good about what I try to do with our program.  It isn't for everybody but it definitely was for these two guys.

Coach Haynes, I was walking past a TV the other night showing the Sonics/Mavs developmental game and recognized Sam Presti sitting in the stands.

You never know when another D3 player will show up in the NBA.

Good luck to Robby.

Good for them!! I hope it work sout for them. I will tell you from experience if they don't mind playing in the middle of nowhere for not a lot of money then go for it. It is pretty difficult to get a good gig coming from a small school.

I wish them the best.. Great kids!

[mattgrubb]

most of all, maybe it can help coach haynes's recruiting efforts.  It has got to be great publicity for his program.
Keep up the good work Coach Haynes and maybe i will come down for another game next year, watching Randy's 500th in person was worth the drive

[GSAC Killer]

Good game last night! We have won two in a row. Had 21pts and 12ast last night against Childress, Tatum and MC's own Alex "BowWOW" Bowers.. I took 15 shots thanks to JAJUAN SMITH NOT SHOWING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we beat matt grubb's team Wednesday we make the playoffs if not the playoff picture gets all messed up. 4 team will end up tied for third!!!

[GSAC Killer]

The Killa is going for the win tonight against Grubby's Team!!

It will be a battle. Hopefully Jajuan and Chism won't show up. 2-0 without them!

[mattgrubb]

hopefully you won't so my team will roll
the grubby one will have his gear there in case his soldiers need their general to set foot on the battlefield and dominate

[GSAC Killer]

You should play!! Your better than half these jokers anyways!!

Good luck tonight!! I am having a great day!! We should go out to celebrate after the game!!!

[mattgrubb]

Party after the game for whoever wants to come
Coach Haynes that gives you exactly enough time to get to knoxville from Lagrange, we will start partying about 8
come on

Congratulations Killer!

BTW, what happened with Beaty? Why did he resign after only one season?

[old_lion]

http://govolsxtra.com/news/2007/jul/10/pilot-rocky-top-league-statistics/ (stats from the other night)..

136 to 134???

What's the deal? Do you guys play 3, 20 minute halves? 

[GSAC Killer]

Regulation 20 minute halves. NO DEFENSE until the last 5 minutes of the game!!

I appreciate it!
